Trump relishes his role as a divider as he vows to be 'vicious'

FUCK YOU DON

(CNN)Taking the stage at a rally in Nevada Saturday night, President Donald Trump didn't hold back.

He said his anger about a recent Democratic ad that highlighted his alleged comments disparaging dead American soldiers had freed him to take his campaign to the next level: "Now I can be really vicious," he said to roars of approval from the crowd of Trump supporters in Minden.

The President, who has long relished his role as a divider who amasses power by creating a climate of fear, went on to describe his opponent, Joe Biden, as "shot" and a puppet of the radical left, before accusing Democrats of trying to "lock law-abiding Americans in their homes" during the pandemic as they fight God, guns and oil.

"At no time before has there been a clearer choice between two parties or two visions, two philosophies, two agendas for the future. There's never been anything like this," Trump said during the rally where he claimed he was "probably entitled" to a third term because he's been so poorly treated. "The Democrats are trying to rig this election, because it's the only way they're gonna win," he said.

No offense against dogs but I do think the word vicious does apply to something not good--

It started with when you didn't agree with him or endorse his decisions or opinions. That meant you were actively hostile against him. And he'd vow revenge against you. My sister, brother, and I had the proverbial Sword of Damocles hanging over our heads as there was an unspoken threat of being disinherited. And even though we were careful around Dad, he still managed to disinherit all of us in the end. And left $35,000 to two cousins who did nothing for him as well as the neighbor across the street. Just because.

So when Trump says NOW he's about to get "vicious," believe him. He's just warming up.

Are we to believe that he's been reasonable and civilized up until now?

He is dangerously unhinged - Democrats are trying to lock law-abiding Americans in their homes, as they fight God, guns, and oil! Oil? Sounds like he's just making shit up as he goes.

You are your own worst enemy. This crap simply rallies his base. Like they're not rallied already. To everyone else it simply makes him more repulsive. Digging deeper into fantasy land is not a winning strategy.

He's been keeping those unspoken promises all this time. Might as well make it all official.

“Though Donald’s fundamental nature hasn’t changed, since his inauguration the amount of stress he’s under has changed dramatically. It’s not the stress of the job, because he isn’t doing the job—unless watching TV and tweeting insults count. It’s the effort to keep the rest of us distracted from the fact that he knows nothing—about politics, civics, or simple human decency—that requires an enormous amount of work.”
